Checking In

What a strange end of year it has been. A roller coaster ride of sorts, and I feel as though I've fallen off the blogosphere! The good was attending a wedding and celebrating my husband's 40 in NOLA, my nephews recent graduation from high school, and having two great weeks of art camp. On the other hand, the recent flooding has taken it's toll on the community I live in. Things are looking better, and there has been a wonderful response to help those in need.

These are pictures of some of the damage. And this is even after the waters had receded some.

Please pray for the communities of San Marcos, Wimberley and the surrounding area. People are still putting their lives back together. And they are still searching for two young children. And special prayers of the father that survived, but lost his wife and two young children. My heart breaks for him.

About Me

I am the K-5 art teacher for Elm Grove Elementary in the Hays school district, just outside of Austin, Tx. I am in my 20th year of teaching and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I pretty much have the best job ever! I love experimenting with materials, lessons with Literacy, adding in cultural experiences, as well as studying great artist from the past and present.

Welcome to my art blog. This is meant to be a place for me to document art projects and happenings here at school and sometimes in the district. My hope is that students and their families will visit from time to time and catch up on what is happening in the art room throughout the school year. This is also a place to share with other art teachers and educators. If you visit my page, I would love for you to join and comment on the art pieces. The more, the merrier!!
